The law of conservation of matter doesn't hold well for a body moving at the speed of light ( c = 3.0*108 m/s). In theory, if there was a parallel universes the law of conservation of anti-matter should still apply.

As an object approaches the speed of light, its mass approaches infinity.

Because masses approach infinity with increasing speed, it is impossible to accelerate a material object to (or past) the speed of light. To do so would require an infinite force. Since masses change with speed, a change in kinetic energy must involve both a change in speed and a change in mass. At speeds close to the speed of light, most of this change is in mass.

How might the law of conservation of matter apply to daily life?

Law of conservation of mass shows that matter is conserved no matter what it undergoes. Some examples are ice cubes that melt to give same mass of liquid, oxidation of copper and closed metamorphic systems.


Does the law of conservation of mass apply today?

Yes because matter cannot be created or destroyed and mass is a property of matter. Therefore, mass cannot be created or destroyed.


Does the law of conservation apply to death?

No, the law of conservation of energy does not directly apply to death as it pertains to the physical transfer and transformation of energy. However, matter and energy are not created or destroyed in death, but rather transformed, as the body decomposes and returns to the environment in various forms.


If god did not create the heavens and earth where did matter come from?

It seems that mass and energy can basically be created out of nothing.Under everyday circumstances, conservation of mass/energy is fulfilled. This can be deduced from Nöther's Theorem. In the case of General Relativity, which describes the Universe on the largest of scales - and specifically in the case of an expanding Universe - the conditions for Nöther's Theorem to apply are NOT fulfilled. In my opinion, all this doesn't really prove or disprove God; it may well be that this is the method God decided to use to create the Universe.

How do the laws of conservation of matter and energy apply to an energy pyramid?

In an energy pyramid, the laws of conservation of matter and energy dictate that energy is efficiently transferred from one trophic level to another, with some energy being lost as heat at each transfer. Matter is recycled within the ecosystem, as nutrients are constantly cycled through the pyramid, ensuring that resources are not wasted but rather utilized efficiently.


Why do they say tht the law of conservation of energy is not applicable to the universe as a whole.this red shift thing..can't it be tht light is losing energy in doing work to travel all tht distnce?

No one, in the field of physics, says the conservation law does not apply to the universe as a whole. In fact the opposite is true, that entropy always increases. The speed of light in a vacuum is a universal constant and can neither increase or decrease.


In which situation does the law of conservation of momentum apply a. in the absence of greatest velocity c. in the absence of outside forces b in the presence of least velocity d. in the presence of o?

c. The law of conservation of momentum applies in the absence of outside forces. This means that if the net external force acting on a system is zero, the total momentum of the system remains constant.

What areas does the the law of conservation of mass not apply?

Really? Its a LAW It always applies. Matter and Energy can neither be created nor destroyed just converted to something else with equal mass or energy.
